Patent CA-2492426-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAKANISHI HARUYUKI
IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 2003-06-13
Abstract: A fuel cell (10) includes a diffusion layer (13, 16) formed in a sheet having a small thickness. The fuel cell (10) is assembled with a tension imposed on the sheet in an in-plane direction of the sheet. The tension is imposed on the diffusion layer (13, 16) from a frame (29) disposed outside the fuel cell. The tension is of such a magnitude as to prevent a portion of the sheet (13, 16) positioned corresponding to a gas passage of a separator from being deformed when the fuel cell is assembled and has a tightening force thereby applied thereto. The tension is adjustable according to a fuel cell operating condition. These structures can prevent a separator rib from pushing into a membrane, maintaining the gas passability of the diffusion layer well.

Title: Methods and compositions for introducing conductive channels into a hydraulic fracturing treatment
Inventor: BRANNON HAROLD D
IPC: E21B43/267
Filed: 2005-06-03
Abstract: Methods for the treatment of subterranean wells involving injecting a first fracturing fluid into a formation, and then injecting at least a second fracturing fluid into the formation in order to create extended conductive channels through a formation are described. The fracturing fluids can be similar in density, viscosity, pH and the other related characteristics. Alternatively, the fracturing fluids can differ in their densities, viscosities, and pH, allowing for variations in the conductive channels formed. Propping agents can also be included in one or both of the injected fluids, further enhancing the conductive channels formed. The described methods aid in minimizing proppant flowback problems typically associated with hydraulic fracturing techniques.
